Relay for Life Tallahassee

Team Sho'nuff it is: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/shonuff. We'll be participating in the FSU Relay for Life, Friday, April 3, starting at 3:00pm, and walking through to April 4, 9:00am. The event will be held on campus at Mike Long Track.

To join the team: www.relayforlife.org/fsufl, click "Sign Up," then "Join a Team," and search for "Team Sho'nuff," and enter all the requested information. If you can't join the team but would like to donate, http://main.acsevents.org/goto/shonuff.

If you are out of town and cannot make this event and want to walk, please visit www.relayforlife.org to participate in a local event.

Our goal will be to raise $1000. Once we have raised $250, we'll be able to choose a campsite for our team. We have a tent that fits two full-sized mattresses, so we can take naps during the relay.

I will work to make sure that we have coverage for the entire 18 hours -- we must have a team member on the track at all times. If we have 15 members who walk 30 minutes at a time, that's 2-3 shifts per person. More than enough walking for everyone that wants a piece.

As far as uniforms, we get event shirts when we register as part of the team. There are two special shirts available for Caregivers and Survivors, which can be requested during sign-up. We can decorate the shirts however we want (Diana: bedazzle 'til your heart's content). I've been telling everyone to wear camo shorts -- we're talking about Team Kirk here! I do love the idea of dressing as zombies... Kirk would have loved to see us all walking around the track all slow-like and bloodthirsty.

Also, from www.relayforlife.org/fsufl, luminaria can be purchased in Kirk's honor, in memory of loved ones we've lost, and in honor of our loved ones who've survived cancer. If you purchase a luminary, you can have a note written on it. These luminaria will be placed around the track and will light our way throughout the night.

I'll be attending a Captains Meeting on March 18. I'll pass along any additional information I find out then.
